A WLAN admin's worst nightmare: It's the middle of the business day, and Apple unleashes iOS7 -- a slick new version of its operating system. This translates to a run-don't-walk scenario in which employees, en masse, fire up iTunes, and start downloading iOS7 over the corporate Wi-Fi network. Because what better time or place to perform this upgrade than during an idle moment when you're at work?
Not to worry. Wi-Fi network admins can use Aerohive's Application Visibility and Control (AVC) feature in HiveManager to easily manage major upgrades to any phone - or any type of high-bandwidth applications - taking place over the WLAN. In this video, Aerohive VP of Product Management Adam Conway walks through the AVC feature, in this case demonstrating how it can be used to throttle traffic related to the iTunes app and iOS 7 upgrades.
